Show Notes
Two weeks ago I did my Pet Business Publicity challenge and already one of the members, dog behaviourist Rachael Claire, has secured a guest blogging role for a huge pet brand.
It means her name is in front of 40,000 people on social media, really raising her profile as a dog behaviourist.
Guest blogging can be the first step in getting your name out there on platforms that aren't your own.
It's a nice way to lead into pitching to newspapers and magazines and a way pet business owners can collaborate so they reach more people.
In this episode I'm talking about guest blogging and how to get started, and here is a downloadable guide to help you with outreach.
